SILENT CONFLICT v > A 8 BETWEEN the roaring goo* e# contending armies on the field of battle, and tlae silent conflict which noble men end women hate with the ??11 eplrlt In the eolltade of night, or In Jhe beetle of the busy day, there is bat elight difference. When nil thing* are considered, the contentions of the armies and the In* tsntlons of the lone Individual, the silent conflict Is frequently the more difficult of tbe two. Accustomed for years to look Qn pernicious habits with complacency, tbe thoughtful man or woman fre quently awakens to the terrible wreck he or ahe Is making of opportunity and life. v There is born In an Instant a resolve to break the traftimels, to pull away from perilous poeltlons and eeek a new haven of peace and safety. Then begins the stern struggle In a world hushed from the ears of others, who may pass by without suspecting the tumult In the soul of him or her who Is making a last stand, fighting valiantly Inch by Inch to overcome the Invisible enemy. It Is easy to read about a conquer , Ing hero, but It requires hard exer tion of will power and unyielding strength to become one. Hitherto the man or woman had found It good policy to drift along blindly, but now, In the new light, all things are changed. That which yesterday was termed honorable, will not In the transformed being of today, pass censorship. The young lady across the way says ' ahe supposes the secretary of tbe navy knows . bis business, but personally she should think a 14-lnch gun would be too short to aim sccurately. That which mi seductive U bow NpaWT*. hateful, horrible. The good, sunny part of nature lifts up Its trembling hand* to the sky and crlee earnestly for deliverance from galling bondage. And If the ibackled eon! be true to Itself, true to the faith which *** born In a, night, this fine spark of no bility will eventually find the freedom It craves, for there IS nothing Impos sible to him or her who can outride the shadow of doubt ~ The ride may be hasardous, up dlsay elevators, down dismal gulfs, over treacherous quicksands, through lands of temptations and snared pits of In iquity, but the clean, cool summit In the distance Is waiting with out stretched arms to bestow on him or her who presses on In belief, the un speakable peace for which the silent conflict Is waged. Ride on through the minutes of Time, ye brave, and the ages of Eter nity will give you enduring bliss I j <? by MoClur* Newapapar Syndtoata.) V i * . i IpMi Rpmika?

DAILY QOOO THINGS IF YOU have some good flavored mealy apples try using them In the following manner as a. dessert for the ( children? even the older members of \ the family will enjoy It : Chop sn IB cleat apples that have been carefully peeled |nd cored, add a bid of lemon Julee te them, mix well, then heap In yherbet cups and sprinkle with powdered sugar and add a spoonful of sweetened whipped cream for the top of each when serving. ? Here Is another dessert which the children will enjoy and that la per fectly wholesome for them: Rice and Apple Pudding. . Wash one cupful ot rice and- cook until flaky and tender. Drafh, add three tablespoonfula of corn sirup or honey, three tableapoonfuls of sugar. Greafte a pudding dish and put In a layer of the sweetened rice, spread with n layer of sliced apples, alternat ing until the dish la full. Bake until the apples are soft. Remove the cover and birown. Serve with or without sauce, A hard sauce prepared by creaming butter and sugar, adding nutmeg for flavoring, Is especially good with thla dish. A few raisins and lees sugar may be used with the ap ple*, adding flavor and variety. ' Peach Betty.

Bake thirty minutes In a moderate oven and serve with cream. ? Another good apple pudding, though too rich (or the children, will be en Joyed by the older members. Roll out a round of pastry, place In the center a cupful or more of chopped apple, one-half cupful of seedless raisins, gather Into a ball and pinch the edges of the pastry together. Place In a deep baking dish, add one cupful of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter and one cupful of boiling wate*. Bake slowly for an hour In a moderate oven. There will usually be enough sauce to serve with each portion. .J art iSL ife 1111, WwUra Nawapaptr Union.) -0 ; Lest Their Heads. In k class of Greek history at an In dianapolis school recently, a youth was asked to tell the story of the battle of Thermopylae. Tbe lad had unusaal descriptive ability and he proceeded Into the story with great sest.

(A by Dodd, Mud 4 Company.) o THE ROMANCE OF WORDS * 0 * "MANDARIN" JUST as "chop suey" la un known In China, "kangaroo" ) Is a term applied to the Ana* 0 trallan animal by some Ignorant ' sailors and "marmalade" bears * no relation to the fruit from 1 which It Is usually made, "man * dhrin" Is Occidental rather than t Oriental In Its origin. * To discover Its origin we have 0 to dig back Into the Portuguese *0 where we find tne word mandar, 1 meaning to hold authority or to \ govern, In turn derived from the Latin mandarla, dominion. The Portuguese, who were among the first to visit China, used a derivative of thla term as a name for the Chinese governor*, and, from them, the word "man darin" spread throughout Eu rope, under the belief that It was of native Chinese origin. This belief h%s persisted to the ' present day, much to the amuse ment of Oriental visitors, who . class It In the same category with other firmly Implanted hut entirely erroneous Ideas concern ing the language and custom* of the Bast.

A.-s k& Transcontinental Motor Route of Great Benefit When tlx Moffat tunnel, soon to be drilled through the continental divide in Colorado at ? eoet of |1<000,000 ?~ mile, la In operation In 1926, a trans contlnental motor route through that etate will be ot>ened 12 month* of the jeer Instead of only Are months In which the highway la now acceealhle. Hundreda of mllea of rold through desert sands in countered on the south route to California will be eliminated. Until recently a transcontinental mo tor trip was a hazardous adventure, proving expensive and tiresome. But Improvement of road conditions on es tablished routes has made the journey leas laborioua. Much of the Emergency gear formerly required on a transcon tinental tour and extra gasoline aupply la now unnecessary. Although the Moffat tunnel, the fifth largest transportation tunnel In the world and longest In America, will cut the rail dlatance between Denver and Salt Lake City 178 mllea and open a new route from Chicago to the Pacific 70 mllea shorter than any existing line, it la estimated by highway experta that the benefits to be derffed from the tun nel as an automobile highway will ex ceed the entire cost of Its construction By the expenditure of $0,720,000 to drill 0.04 miles through solid granite, the Colorado tunnel commission will lower the tracka of the temporary line of the Moffat rlad (Denver & Salt Lake) over the Continental Divide about 2,500 feet and open an uninter rupted winter route for automobiles through the tunnel at an elevation of 9,100 feet Instead of a few months' ao cesalble road through Berthoud pass at an elevation of 11330 feet The Moffat tunnel will provide cars especially built for the transportation of automobilea and all trains will be drawn by electric locomotives, eliminat ing smoke and gaaes that would result if engines operated under their own power. The tunnel will be used In con nection with the proposed Victory highway, running from Wilmington, D^l., to San Francisco. ' It Is proposed by the Victory Highway association to make thla the world's greatest high-, way. Paaalng through Waahlngton, D. C? the highway will continue through Wheeling, Indianapolis, St Louis, Kansas City and Denver, where it Is provided to continue west through Berthoud pass, Steamboat Springe, Salt Lake City and Reno to San Fran cisco., . ?_ Completion of the Moffat tunnel la eagerly awaited by those foetering the Victory highway, as It is the only link tn the proposed route that might block the plana for the greateat highway In the world. The tunnel ahould be com pleted In three and one-half years with present Improved engineering appli ances. Valuable Road Material Is Discovered in Texas A new and valuable discovery of road materials for Maverick county, Texas, has been made by the county engineer, county officials announce. Recently the engineer was conducting an Investigation of materials with which to construct a hard-surfaced highway In the county. The result was the discovery of a bed of petrified oys ters covering several acres of land. The material Is proving superior to any yet found in that section, the en gineer reports. After being placed in position and rolled, the shells cement Into a hard, smooth layer, It Is stated. The bed la attracting attention In that It was discovered at a point ap proximately 1,000 feet above sea level. Oropplngs of oyster shells have been found In other parts of the county also. Authorities declare this Is proof that this section was at one time a part of the sea and that the land was, probably, thrown up In tome prehis toric period, v Motor Vehicles Must Be Adapted to Old Roads Sweden, considering the motorizing of Its highway traffic, declares that the general establishment of regular auto mobile passenger and truck service cannot wait for the construction of n?w roads and the rebuilding of old ones, but that the motor vehicles must be adapted to the roads. The roads are to be divided Into four classes, according to the weights which they are.ahle to sustain. Trail ers, rather tmn additional motor4 trucks, are to be uaed wherever the traffic is recommended for winter use In northern Sweden. Tills car la to have sleigh runners instead of front wheels, and will be equipped with spe cial drive wheels and gear. For the financing of this new service yearly subsidies have been proposed, as well as a government loan fund. Karly Head Construction. Gobble stones were used for paving In Boston and New York as early as 1060. The first brick pavement on a roadway In the United- States was laid In Charleston, W. Tan in 1870. to the saaae year the first asphalt pavement la the United States was laid In Newark, N. J. Bllllene for Reada.

FARM LIVESTOCK f ' i-H Si i ill i i* A i i i i 'i i l i i i VV Apple By-Producto Good for Wintering Animals .<*-"?4 * SS&3S" D^rt,n-11 Thousand* o t tons of apple pomace are going to waste annually which might profitably be turned Into food for wintering cattle, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Tl^ls loss Is attributed elUierto lack of facilities for preserving the pomace or to' indifference on the part of stock raisers; Studies to determine the food T^lue and best methods of ttlllslng this by product from commercial cider and vinegar mills have been made and are discussed in Department Bulletin No. 1166, "Apple By-Products as Stock Foods." just issued by the United states Depavtment of Agriculture. When the moist apple pomace can be used in the fresh copdltlon or be en vied it yields a succulent cattle food Comparable with corn silage, of spe dal "Value In the w, inter feeding of stock. The quantity that can be Utilized In this way, however, is lim ited because of the relatively high cost of transportation for material having such a high water content. Its most profitable utilization depends upon its preservation by dehydration and pro ducing it as a commercial food. 1 In feedlfig trials with dairy cows, dried apple pomace proved to be a palatable feed and appeared to be equal pound for pound of dry matter, to good corn silage as succulent food. The material was fed wet and re placed the corn silage In a ration In cluding grain and hay. The material, which had been ground to a meal, was prepared by adding to it three times Its weight of water .several hours be fore it was fed. ' A copy of this bulletin may be se cured from the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., as long as the supply lasts. Steers Clean Up Waste Feeds on Average Farm Do not plunge heavily Into feeding because someone else made big money last year. Also do not stay out be cause the last season was a bad one. The pendulum may swing the other way In either case. Keep steers full. The food eaten over and above maintenance Is what puts on flesh. Nevertheless, excite ment, mud, discomfort and Injuries from horns of other steers all increase maintenance requirement and reduce gains. Under Colorado conditions, feed heavily on roughage and other cheap Jteeds at-tfte- start and save the heav iest grain feeding for the last four or six weeks of the fattening period. Wise feeders watch costs carefully in buying feedsi It Is net necessarily the best feeds, but the best feeds for the money that make profits. Make -steers clean up the waste feeds on the farm. Straw, corn fod der and beet tops can best be market ed through steers if used In proper combinations with other feeds. Where heavy corn-rations are fed, a few hogs In the feedlot may regain 10 jfer cent or more of the grain fed. It rarely pays to hold mature steers after they are finished. Every pound of gain pot on after this point ,1s reached Is put on at a loss.-- Charles I. Bray, Colorado Agricultural Col lege. ? ; i / Excellent Mixtures to Maintain Breeding Ewe After the ewes are bred, don't neglect them so far as feeding Is con cerned. Give them the right kind of feed 'and proper care. A pregnant ewe needs no grain during the first fonr months after breeding If she Is In good condition at that time. On the other hand It will not dp to winter her on straw and timothy hay or corn stover. What she needs Is clover or alfalfa hay or at least clover and timothy, with the former predominating in the mix ture. SlHfge, If of good quality, also makes a good feed for bred ewes. An average of two pounds of com silage and two pounds of clover or alfalfa hay per day will maintain a ewe in ex cellent condition, but for two or three weeks before lambing It la advisable to add about half a pound of grain per day, a mixture of equal- parts of oats and corn being suitable for that pur pose. , v ? ??????? ?(., . Breeders Can Exchange Rams to Good Advantage k There are a number of sheep breed ers who are always In the market for new rams. It sometimes happens that breeders can exchange rams to good advantage when neither could uae the one they own any longer. The best possible place to select a ram Is at the home of the breeder where the ram Is to be seen in his everyday form. Even at the home of the breeder the pur chaser needa both eyes open. Success in Building Up Profitable Swine Herd Success In building the swine herd is only readied through turning out a class of animals that possess Individ ual merit which differentiates then from the great manes of animals of the breed to which they belong, and then It Is that the mortgage has faded away, the new house built and the bank account grown as a protection against that when we shall retire from the breeding ring to a mora quletjrt raleUfa.
